Maggie Gyllenhaal, the famous American actress, confessed recently that she smokes cigarettes and hides this from her children. The actress became famous due to such movies as Donnie Darko, Mona Lisa Smile and The Dark Knight.

She is married to Peter Sarsgaard and has two children – eight-years-old Ramona and two-years-old Gloria. Several times she was nominated for Golden Globe awards as the best actress.

In a recent interview to Stylist magazine she told: “I don’t smoke cigarettes officially but now and then I fall off the wagon. I can’t keep it up at home. I can’t smoke as a mother – it’s too much sneaking around.”

Then she added: “I’m buying cigarettes and I’m like, ‘What am I doing? Pull it together!’”

Now the 36-years-old actress is screening in the TV drama called ‘The Honourable Woman’. She told that she can hardly find spare time for exercising and reading because she spends all her time with her family.
